Reid: Kochs 'main cause' of climate change By: Burgess Everett May 7, 2014 10:37 AM EDT

Charles and David Koch are one of the “main causes” of climate change, charged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the Senate floor.

“While the Koch brothers admit to not being experts on the matter, these billionaire oil tycoons are certainly… experts at contributing to climate change. That’s what they do very well. They are one of the main causes of this. Not a cause, the main cause,” Reid said.

Now in his fifth month of flogging the billionaire conservative benefactors on the Senate floor, Reid dubbed them “multizillionaires” on Wednesday and mockingly applauded their spokeswoman for saying the Kochs and the energy conglomerate that they run aren’t experts on climate science. Wealthy liberal investor Tom Steyer challenged the Kochs to a debate on climate change last week in a full-page newspaper advertisement, but they declined to take him up on it.

It wasn’t just climate change: Reid also blamed the Kochs for imperiling an energy efficiency bill currently on the Senate floor, an accusation that comes not long after the Democratic leader blamed the Kochs for stalling Ukrainian aid.

Wow! These two men are more powerful than the sun? If so I wish they would zap senile Harry.

Not a cause, the main cause,” Reid said.

Asking Reid to man-up is like asking Obama to tell the truth.

It can't be done.

Harry’s a Rat. Rats lie. Rats have figured out if one is stupid enough to vote for them, one is stupid enough to believe what they say.

What they ought to do is set up a two minute hate in honor of Harry Reid and put the koch brothers up on a screen for two minutes.

‘Please no profanity, no personal attacks, no racism or Violence in posts’.. That’s going to be hard to do with a meat head like Reid.

If Harry Reid didn’t spend so much time in the Senate fouling the air, he might have been able to realize the American dream in the private sector like the Koch brothers. Nah, that wouldn’t fit his corrupt MO - he expects too much from government.

Why isn’t Reid in jail or being at least investigated in his part (and son) to rip off American taxpayers in that $5 billion Chinese solar plant deal (aka Bundy ranch)??

I'd love to see the scientific explanation behind that statement.

What is even more amazing than Reid's statement is the fact the mainstream media won't blink an eye. ---Just like "Mitt Romney didn't pay taxes for 10 years".

“Never. They are afraid of offending ‘independent’ democRat voters.”

Some of them aren’t. This would be a good time for a “Cruz missile”. :-)
